where are CHP sitting????

hey riders, I'm moving from daly city to richmond and I need some help with locating where CHP is sitting and waiting for us to speed by. I wk swing shift so I'd b riding to SF in the afternoon and going home around midnight. The only place I see them sitting consistently is by the bridge after the toll. I'm gonna b taking 80 up to the Fitzgerald exit then take richmond parkway home. i found an app called trapster but its too new to give any relevant info aside from red light cameras.
Does anyone know the CHP schedule/patterns?
I'm assuming like most jobs they arent as heavily manned after rush hr and I never see them sitting on the freeway on 280 at night.

I just got pulled over last fri by CHP right before the 4th st exit headed east to the bay bridge. same asian motorcycle cop who gave me a ticket last oct for some nonsense. he only gave me a warning this time which was a shock. maybe in general cops are more lenient with sport bikes b/c I got pulled over by CHP twice on a harley and got ticketed both times, and on my R1 and CBR and didnt get a tix, 2-4 with CHP, never got a tix with any other agency despite being pulled over multiple times. I've got a commercial license thats why this concerns me; in case you dont know, the gov is a lot harder on us. Does anyone know for a fact on 80 if the car pool lanes is free to riders? I noticed the car pool signs dont say anything about bikes but when u go south u c the signs saying "motorcycles ok". thanks, sorry this dragged

Shhhhh.. CHP is on here. Learn the barf code if you want to talk about breaking laws such as speeding. Check your PM.

Carpool lanes are a Go.
 
EVERYWHERE!!:mm4l:mm4l:x

But really most of the officers like to mix it up so no one knows when or where they will be. On a side note don't speed or ride like an idiot and you will not have to worry if there will be a chippy sitting sideways on the shoulder of the highway with a lidar unit.
 
Where you can't see them.....that's why it's called "hiding".
 
Car pool always includes bikes. I drive all over the Bay Area for work and will simply advise you to be careful everywhere. Dont think knowing the spots CHP are at is a magic bullet. Don't get lazy- if you're constantly on the road you'll get a ticket if you get sloppy and speed, ect.
 
watch out on the parkway, its very easy to speed there..ALWAYS see one biker cop at approx 6:30am on Richmond Parkway and Hilltop heading toward San Rafael bridge.

Sometimes i see CHP shooting radar/lidar at Atlas and Richmond parkway (slight left after the light) heading toward the san rafael bridge

seen biker cops camping out at the corner by the carpool parking lot across from the chevron looking for red light runners

once in a blue moon, dui checkpoint on Atlas and Richmond Parkway

thanks for the info, u other riders on here need to respond with some actual info or not at all, just b/c u have a keyboard doesnt mean u have to use it. got anything better to do then throw in your irrelevant 2 cents?
 
If you have a commercial endorsement, why are you getting stopped "multiple times" if you know what the consequences are? Onramps and under overpasses are popular spots.

Calling out Barfers with post #2? Hmmmm...

is the OP a troll? a CHP plant designed to get us to reveal what we know? Or one of those newbie BARFers that turns into epic greatness?

For what it's worth, the only time I can recall interacting with CHP on 80 was around midnight. It's a crap shoot and thinking you know some sort of pattern will only lull you into a false sense of security.

Oh, and they love to hide on treasure island to pop people who don't slow for the retarded 40mph zone through the curve on the bay bridge. 40mph, on an interstate, in a section I can travel through at twice that rate without even thinking. In many places 40 is the MINIMUM on the interstate. :thumbdown (I blame first idiots who can't drive, then CalTrans for not predicting we'd be idiots, and not CHP or any other agency)

Thanks officer, I've only had a B for 2 yrs and been riding a bike for about 5 so most of those pull overs were before I had a B and they were for nonsense thats why I didnt get cited. I drive a commercial vehicle drastically different than I do my bike, naturally. Are you gonna drive a 400lb bike the same way you'd drive a 40,000lb commercial vehicle? until last august I hadn't gotten a tix since 99 in Missouri. CHP isnt hiding despite what some of u might think, they sit in the same spots, I c the same cop sitting on 280 all the time

To answer the OPs question about carpool and bikes. You can read 21655.5 but to save you time, motorcycles can ride in the carpool lane as long as they are not specifically prohibited. By the way I don't know of any carpool lanes at least in the bay area that prohibit motorcycles.
